Explanation

Varuna, the god of water and oceans, presented the divine bow Gandiva to Arjuna. This happened along with other celestial weapons when Agni needed to consume the Khandava forest. Arjuna received these gifts to protect Agni from Indra's wrath. While Indra was Arjuna's celestial father, Vayu was Bhima's father, and Agni was the fire god who received Arjuna's help.
